So cal
I was searching for an upgrade on my bass rig and purchased a popular Tube amp which I immediately sent back. None of my 8 basses sounded good through the new amp/cab. So I turned my thoughts towards a bass I’ve had an interest in since it’s debut.
Back in the early 70’s I owned an all black fretless with Tapewounds on it. I didn’t play fretless at the time, so inevitably it was sold. Remorse. Recently, I started looking at the hollow-bodies that are available. I’m a smaller player, so size was a thing for me as the hollow body basses can get big and uncomfortable. Not following my criteria, I went ahead and allowed my wife to gift me this new bass. :whistle:
After YouTubin’ it and deciding against certain models, I took my chances and bought an Epiphone Jack Casado Sig. WOW!! Incredibly well made high quality bass! Shipped to me in one day! Sweetwater! Coast to coast free!
Finish=Flawless
Intonation=Perfect
Hardware=Nickel
Frets=good no sprout

From the moment I plugged it in I was blown Away! It sounds sooooo good! Deep and rich. The Electar Humbucker is thoroughly beautiful. This is definitely a do all bass. It’s not too big to make it uncomfortable. It has a 3 position selector switch that allows you to dial up different ratings @ 50/250/500. All the videos for other basses in this category were often played with a little overdrive which I was only interested in the clearest of tone and output. This bass has it all. You want whopping clear authority or driven into frenzy it’s here! Best bass I’ve ever owned. In 55 years and literally hundreds of basses the only regret is I didn’t buy it a long time ago. Thanks

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

I have desired a hollow body since I saw Glenn Cornick on the Benefit CD cover and I have debated and debated with myself on this EXACT bass.

I guess I need to pull the trigger, eh?

I would not hesitate! Don’t forget the case! Lol! These are stunning examples of the Luthier Craft! Words have no meaning. I use Mogami cables and play it through a Fender Rumble 200c V3.
